Default is this a good deal for a first truck?

Does this look like a good deal for a first time truck owner? I've driven pickups in the past, and i've even driven one like this.

$2200 with 105K miles.

thanks in advance

If it's as nice as the ad and pictures suggest, runs and drives well, is not rusted much, and doesn't leak fluids everywhere then yes this is a good deal. Chances are, one of those criteria will not be met, and you will have to form your own opinion, but it seems to be a nice truck with low miles.

like they said good deal if it a legit truck, something is not right with the picture of the drivers side front fender though, either it doesnt match or it has been photo chopped.

I don't think it's been shopped, I think the fender had/has some rust and they tried to repair it. The driver's side front fender seems to be missing the chrome trim and where it meets the door, down low, it looks like it has been bondo-ed. For the money, the truck seems like a fairly good deal to me. Depends on whether she looks as good in person, or not.

Looking at the pic on the headlight it does look like someone did a y photoshop job.
